Realy high quality synths, respekt!! Keep it on...

Yes, sonically it’s no doubt your best yet.

I never did any of the watching of tutorials you’re talking about. I actually hate those kind of things and it’s all too technical for me though would definitely work for some people.

I’m sort of too lazy to want to bother copying and studying other people’s techniques. That’s why I haven’t played a cover song (on an instrument) since aged about 17. I didn’t have the internet at all for the first few years of home music making so no chance of online tutorials anyway.

I guess I just spent lots of time developing my own sound and technique. Maybe that’s partly why I have an unsual sound and ways of combining instruments.

I still don’t have internet in my music studio so no chance of following online tutorials whilst in there anyway.

Little tricks from pros are useful (just partly as interesting ideas) but I think the best thing is your own experimentation (and getting it wrong) so that you see how you feel and react to sounds.

I always think the best way for me to come up with something good is to do things that inspire me more. So, just following what works for someone else won’t necessarily do that for me.

Anyway, you sound like you’re on the right sort of path so keep it up.

P.S. Check out the Sonicstate weekly music tech podcast. It’s a fun and interesting UK-US chat about music tech, bands and much more. Not at all just gear reviews! And it’s been running since 2007 so hundreds of hour-long episodes to download and enjoy.

Man, very very cool. I agree, the track is very clean. Great production. Original track too. I found it chill, very linear in a good way.

Good work ")

Very enjoyable and deep track! I'm totally enjoying your vocal style on this one, and how they were recorded. This has a nice groove to it too, which is important. Fine quality work and song writing here! Fav'd!

voice sounds good, man!. interesting personality conveyed! enjoy the track a lot. big congrats on your work here!

Well, like Static stated, your learning curve has been about as rapid and steep as it gets. This one really sounds like it has been mixed in a studio. Really crisp and all of the elements in the mix are sitting exactly where they should be. I actually think the vocals work well in this....one thing you might consider next time is doing some harmony work on the chorus to give the vox a bigger feel in those sections. That's just a bit of nit picking on my part though...this one is solid from the very start and stays that way through to the end.

Well done, really well done. It will be fun to watch you continue to progress. You are rapidly becoming one of the ace production people on this site.

Greetings. I'm very impressed with your production progression. Don't know if it's easier starting out these days with music production than when I did or if you're just a quick learner.

This sounds good right from the first beat. It's a simple but effective and tight drum groove. High trippy delayed melody is melodic and distinctive. Bass complements it really well and waiting 35 secs to introduce it is a good choice.

I'm not keen on the vocals or lyrics but that's just my personal preference. Others will feel differently.

Actually, the chorus of "It's greener" I do quite like, with the rap being my least favourite part. I actually think the telephone effect works well and provides good contrast.

Maybe a change would help this track though it works OK without.

Overall, it's a really tight production and I can't really fault it a great deal.

Reminds me just a little of Depeche Mode and Dave Gahan in places (probably that chorus).

Very well done.

Hey C.
interesting Track, realy enjoy to listen.
keep on

I def dig that track and the content and vocals, just need to remove the telephonic sound of them and this will be more towards amazing, as it has the potential to. Great vocals and music, just needs more deep to mid range bass!

i never heard sumthn like this..lol i like it tho
